The current abstract and layered paintings are visual extensions
of lyrical song and dance. They touch on an idea or concept, then dance
about in their own rhythm aided by the dynamics of discovery. After
much concentration regarding design concepts, color theory, space and
shape relationships, the works almost seem to paint themselves." Visit Mary Crutchfield's website. If you'd like to get in touch with Mary, please send us an email! |
